Servicing an Original 60s Butex Manual Alarm - AS 1568 Manual Alarm Movement

Here we have a very nice vintage Butex manual alarm watch powered by the lengendary AS 1568 movement in excellent condition. Highly collectible and desirable as this is almost the best of mechanical watchmaking in the 60s and 70s.

Below is the result of the service.

Very Nice Vintage Funky Retro 60s Butex Automatic Watch - ETA 2452

Another fine example from my Butex collection. It has a rather unusual design with a mirror polished chapter ring together with the minimalistic cross-hair dial. The design resembles the legendary Universal Polerouter, although without the wonderful and prestigious 215 microtor automatic movement.
